pros using K18
how K18 works
Traveling into the innermost layers of hair, our K18PEPTIDE™ renews strength along the width AND length of hair for lasting strength where it matters.

Get started here
How does it work?
It’s super simple, both formulas have our biotech-powered peptide, so by using both one on top of the other, you’re doubling down on the peptide for maximum damage repair. The K18PEPTIDE™ reverses hair damage in 4 minutes by reconnecting breaks in the hair fiber along both the length (keratin chains) and the width (disulfide bonds) for holistic hair renewal.
who is it for?
K18 is engineered to work with every hair type, in every service, and with every routine.
Why do I mist hair with water before using the PRO mist?
Water will swell the cuticle layers to open up the hair fiber and allow for maximum penetration of the PRO mist into the innermost layers of hair. In the same way a damp sponge absorbs more water, damp hair absorbs K18PEPTIDE™.
Will using toner on top of K18 mask affect my client’s color?
K18 will not interfere with toner or final color. Colorists tell us K18 mask delivers a more uniform, and vibrant color application, as it evens out the hair’s porosity and damage.
is K18 PRO mist + mask considered a protein?
K18 PRO mist + mask are not protein treatments, our biomimetic peptide naturally mimics the amino acid sequences in keratin to rebuild bonds broken by chemical, color, and heat damage. If your clients are experiencing dry, brittle hair, use PEPTIDE PREP™ detox shampoo pre-K18 mask to remove buildup.
I really enjoy the delivery of this product. Spray on lightly water misted hair, go mix your color and it's ready to go. Apply the mask after shampooing your color out. No capping and sitting under the dryer. Just give it a few minutes and your ready to complete your guests service. Smooths hair shaft and closes rough ends for those clients that only want a "whisker" trim. My only reason for 4 stars is the price of the mist. I would like to use a little more on each guest but I try to be conservative with the amount of product just because of the mist cost vs. what I charge my guest. Will continue to keep this set on hand!
Easy to use with the exception of the cream, I’ve had to shake excessively to get the pump primed on the cream. Once I think I get it working I have to start all over again for the next client.

Thank you for your review Beth. I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues. Very often an air bubble will form inside the product container causing what seems to be a broken pump. To get the product to dispense you’ll need to cap it, turn it upside down and tap it against a hard surface 10-15 times, then try to pump it again and it should begin to work properly. If that does not work can you please include a video of you trying to pump product out and the lot number found on the bottom of the bottle to pro@k18hair.com.
